This is very handy and I have used it - on an attachment - I would love to find a way to make the script work when using a pose ball. I'm afraid I have zero scripting skills. Any help would be appreciated in this, tia. Does anyone here know what wd need to be done to make this facial expression be possible when used with a poseball script? I use the standard Nyteve (?) poseball script. Thank you much. And anyone using the MLP system can make use of this: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/MLPV2_Reference_Manual#Animations_.28Facial.29

I haven't tried poser so cannot comment on your predicament but I would suggest you give QAviamtor a look - very easy interface. There are limitations mind you, but a great way to get started in animations. QAvimator

Medhue- it is currently possible to edit the XML file where the priorities are stored and hack yourself a higher priority. I have done it - I am not sure however if it is truly effective since what I actually wanted it for didn't pan out so never had a chance to try it out.

I'm going to IM you re that other version Medhue- Thank you.

I wanted to add that yes I was able to insert a second figure by adding hmm- I don't recall now if it says add blue? But it was as Medhue suggest - brilliant guy btw , ty ty Medhue! Mind, I have not delved deeply yet in SLat- mostly because while I admit that QA has large limitations, it is so inutitive! I really didn't need to learn much to get started on it. It was easy- grab the manequin's limb and move it- voila! Ye, the refinements and inofrmation u need to really make good anims I have had to sweat at, but like with all "arts" you grow into it. I am afraid SLat isn't very self explanatory to me. In fact, Medhue, you stated in one of these two threads something about how the camera function was so much easier for you on SLat - I'm afraid it has me quite stummped! I keep trying to do cam things like we do in-world, like it works in Blender, like it works in QA - and I do not achieve the same viewing results. I realize I will need to devote sometime to it in order to get in the learning curve, I just keep 'ooh shiny!'ing" . Anyway, thanks everyone contributing to these threads- just reading everyones animation adventures and advice is super instructional and am learning a lot.

Thank you. Yes I dl'ed SLat on your recommendation on the other thread. Now I will need to learn how to use that one and yes btw, you were right about the add blue or add red- that did give me the second figure

Thank you - I will try that out. I find it is helpful though to have both avatars able to interact so that you can place the limbs in way they don't intersect impossibly . You can of course adjust pose balls and sits later but if they are very close together it is disconcerting to see hands and arms peeking thru someone's body! Eep!! So QA is handy in that- however, which takes me back to my thread I posted- if I find I need to lengthen a sequence I cannot insert frames - argh - So - OK I wil give the red blue a shot. Thank you again for input.

Medhue, I just watched your two SLat vid tuts- thank you for those btw - I hadn't heard of the program before and am seeing may be a way to answer myown question here re inserting frames in QA. One little question and not really a derail to this thread since I will be trying my QA anims in SLat - can one "Add" a second figure into SLat also and if so how? Thanks!

One thing I am not fond of in QA though is such an intuitive tool - I have not found a way to insert empty frames other than extend the length of an anim. But if I need more "room" between say frame 100 and frame 200 I can't insert them there, only at the end. Am I missing something or is it really a shortcoming? Is there a way to export a text file of your anim, then perhaps be able to edit it in a text editor thus perhaps adding the space you need to lengthen or adjust a pose outside of QA? Failing either of those things- I could open two instances of QA and copy/paste from one to the other- Or I could if that solution worked. Unfortunately, QA doesn't seem to allow me to copy from one window to another and so if I need to add some frames, I find I create a New Anim, open anim one, copy the needed frame, close anim one, open new anim, paste in copied info, save, close, open anim one.... etc, etc... Help! There just has to be a better way- isn't there? Thanks for any pointers!

Just another massively stupid move on the part of the Lab. No reason to yet again enumerate all the ways this has FAIL written all over it. But like most if not all the wise decisions handed down from on high, they will go through with it. Will it be the end of SL? No- the end of SL as we knew it came and went- this is just another brush coat of grey paint to make the individuality and magic that made SL stand miles apart from other "games" fade farther and farther. Fortunately, now there ARE options - I am sure other VW's will be getting a new influx of Residents when this road to ruin opens wide.
